Narrative:
There was no smoke, just a strong odor of electrical burning wire. I noticed the monitor (video), #4, was still illuminated, while the others were off. Passenger in that area said it was not working during the showing of the safety video. The smell remained in the cabin the entire flight, however, not as strong. Passenger in first class and forward main cabin coughed and requested water throughout the flight. I experienced a dry throat as well.
